Yes, it is possible to add the check payee's name in your reports and also view or edit payee details directly within the bank register, Accountant54.

 

The check payee’s name automatically appears under the Name column in reports by default. For example, when you run a report like the Transaction Detail by Account or any similar detailed report, the payee's name will be displayed under the Name column for transactions such as checks, bills, and expenses.

 

In the bank register, there is a Payee column that allows you to view and modify payee information for individual transactions. Here’s how to access it:

 

  1. Navigate to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate the account you want to view (e.g., your checking account) and click View register.
  3. The name of the payee will appear in the Payee column for relevant transactions.
  4. You can click the transaction to add/edit the payee information.
